I think our near loss proves my point that with the best running back in football in the game we could have beat them.

Yeah- us too. Aren't hypotheticals great? Near and could have are the mantras of the delusional. Fans of all teams with .500 records and no playoff appearances can use those words effectively.

Now to something tangible. Were the Texans better than us yesterday? Absolutely. A "pure-D" country azz whooping. No doubt.

Anything else is hypothetical. Try this on for size. I hope the Texans make the playoffs. I actually respect their fans for sticking it out. I think Foster is a great RB. I think the Texans have one of (if not THE) best RB corps in the NFL. AJ is THE best WR in the NFL. But they had that last year and what happened? So, I understand your giddy with school-boy glee and your looking for satisfaction by trolling on another forum's fan site. But you are misguided if you think angering fans on this site will fill that hole you apparently have in your psyche.

Two weeks. Two weeks to prepare for a beat-up Texans team that isn't world-beating by any means even when at full strength. A Texans team that just got smashed in the face by a tough Ravens team. Two weeks to make changes to the o-line. Two weeks to finally be able to show the team some tape to go by and make adjustments.
Somehow in those two weeks this team got worse. The Pittsburgh game was embarrassing, but at least we had the excuse that it was in Pittsburgh. This? We had every advantage possible and got beaten like a high school team.

Embarrassing.

It's not about losing. This team is still in "rebuild" mode. Regardless of the great set-up we have this season... the opportunity with Manning out, Jags being terrible- forget that. This team isn't good enough to even get excited about it- or they have so many problems from talent to staff that it just doesn't matter. We're losing. Ok. Big deal. We expected to lose games this year.

However we're losing as if it's a damned habit. Like it can't be fixed. Like we have no plans on fixing it... and that's why you're going to start losing fans, coach. It doesn't take long in this league to gain faith and loyal followers. It's even easier to lose them.

So here's what you'd better do really quickly before you find yourself out of a job in 2 seasons:

1. DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING. Show us you actually WANT to change something. Do SOMETHING different.
2. Your offensive line. Isn't this your position? Wasn't this Bruce's position?... Fix it. Replace Amano. Stop giving us s*** about how it wont work. Guess what- you've only tried it ONCE due to injury... and it DID work. Do it again. TRY.
3. Tell Jerry Gray to remember how this defense played the first of the season and stop playing like the Jeff Fisher Titans defense. Playing conservative D is not what won us 3 games. It's what lost us 3 games. And this will only continue.
4. Replace Chris Johnson. Again- SHOW US you want things to change. Ringer might suck. Will he suck more than 1.9 yards per carry? I highly doubt it...

You want to get real crazy? Put the RB in that actually EARNED the right to play during the offseason: Jamie Harper. A guy that runs with heart and doesn't need great blocking to move forward. But hey... I'm just an armchair QB trying to help you keep your job and not be booed off the field every Sunday in Nashville.

5. CHANGE THINGS UP.

You don't have to win.

You don't have to solve anything.

You do however need to show us that you are THINKING about changing things.

Agree with everything said here. I kept trying to give CJ some time but I'm sick of it.
One of the biggest things that pissed me off yesterday was on two straight plays where he caught the pass on second and ten and ran backwards for 9 yards and then the next play he caught a pass in the middle of the field and 3rd and 19 and he stopped paused and tried to cutback instead of just running forward and outrunning the LB.

I can't be patient anymore. He is killing this team. Along with drops from the WRs

I have never "liked" anything you have said on here and I still think you are one of the worst trolls here but I must admit that I liked your post and I feel obligated to "like" it. Maybe there is hope for you after all.

Titans dont hold their self at high standards like the steelers or packer etc......we will never be known as anything but a small town market team thats only around to make the big dogs money.if you want a team that has passion and wants a history you better jump off board.
